HD 36960 is a B-type main-sequence star in the constellation Orion. At an apparent magnitude of +4.78 it is visible to the naked eye in many areas though in most urban areas it cannot be seen due to light pollution. The star is also massive along with many other stars of Orion. At over 15 solar masses it shines with nearly 40000 times the Sun’s luminosity due to its high surface temperature (29000K).
